Surging Demand for Agrochemicals Boosts Asia Pacific Naphthalene Derivatives Market

Sulphonates are the most commonly used naphthalene derivatives in the agrochemical industry. It is used as a dispersant in pesticide and insecticide formulations for uniform distribution of active ingredients. The increasing global population has positively contributed to the demand for food production. As per the Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association, China is among the largest producers, consumers, exporters, and importers of fertilizers in the world. The country accounts for more than 50% of the total fertilizers consumed worldwide, making it a significant contributor to the agrochemicals sector. Also, a report from the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI) in 2021 highlighted that India is one of the leading exporters of agrochemicals globally, with exports primarily going to four key countries: the US, Japan, China, and Brazil. Recognizing the potential of this sector, the Indian government has designated agrochemicals as one of the 12 champion sectors where the country can significantly contribute to the global supply chain. Naphthol is used as an intermediate in the production of insecticides, aiding in crop health. Further, naphthalene acetic acid is a synthetic plant hormone derived from naphthalene, which is used as a plant growth regulator. The need for effective crop protection solutions due to the elevating global food requirements bolsters the demand for agrochemicals, fueling the growth of the naphthalene derivatives market.
